super storm sandy
hit the east coast new york new jersey d_c_
uh... all up and down the coast obviously and in fact the toll now is
really devastating
uh... we've got forty different deaths that have been attributed to the storm
so far
and obviously so
you know we are just
doing the cleanup now other hurricane-force winds reached eighty
miles per hour
and then uh... the hurricane eventually turned into tropical storm and now it's
already is
in the middle of the country has not dissipated it's moved inland and this
down to about forty mile per hour winds there were fourteen foot surges in new
jersey
uh... in new york of the reached around eleven to twelve p
and which by the way
broke the record for how
high above the surges were in new york
eighteen twenty one
uh... the subway system is flooded out not mall parts but it seemed every apart
so i a ballet are are that's the
tunnel system that takes the trains from long island into new york it's at a run
that's also flooded out and uh... that head of the subways
says that it is the worst damage that he is ever seen the subways is one hundred
and eight year history
in new york city alone we seem to have at least eighteen bess
uh... now overall in the area eight point two million people are without
power
which is trying to take this in the united states of america
it's been fifteen thousand canceled flights
uh... also uh...
twenty uh... billion dollars
worth of property damage
and then there's obviously the ten to thirty billion dollars
in lost business
honestly we were a little skeptical that this they have a storm was going to this
much damage
turns out it did much more damage than expected
now it was uh... one of the largest storms to hit that lanny
could come from the atlantic ocean and and hit the east coast of the way that
it did in terms of circumference with etcetera
not a intensity obviously hurricane hit reno was
much more intense
it really did a lot of property damage of because of werent
new york pc
boston always a major major cities but
new york new jersey connecticut area obviously
uh... you will cause a lot of damage if you ever seen every storm go through
that
uh... and
so now is a climate change well we've been telling you all long did it is
put one particular weather event
and say that's it improves the case obviously novel will show you of the
macro picture in a second as well
and the fact that these three different storms combine into this super storm
uh... is partly due to the
uh... arctic uh... ice melting and though pollution water being both higher
and warmer
there's a lot of different events that
went into making this storm and some of them
hands by climate change in fact
uh... now insurance companies
are starting to take note and a half for a while but when a large was the world
at munich re
and singers sing come into maybe said
climate german changes already evident
over the last few days few decades
persevere font thunderstorms for having first
precipitation and flash flooding
for hurricane activity in for heat wave
trout and wildfire dynamics imparts of north america
now that means that they're in charge more for insurance in north america
nor did make up for those threats and now you know something is real when the
markets move right
it before my conservative friends though
every al simpson israel based on science
but in india will leave science or you're skeptical for one reason or
another you believe in free markets right
so they shows companies say well i will not assure you i will not take your
money
in that area companies to high risk
well then you begin to get a sense hey maybe there's something going on here
and here's a large was the world's say
well we have only make one two three oh
and it's affecting
our business
now if you don't believe them anyone look an actual
catastrophic events that have hit the united states though over the last
you know it's enough thirty years or so will get a truck for you looking for a
little bit
uh...
as you can see there now that that's a combination of different things like
your physical vans mira logical events hydrological events
and et cetera right but when you add 'em all up
there's a very very clear pattern which is
has certainly go
in time they get more more severe and then
the last decade and we're not even count twenty eleven point well which are off
the chart which are much higher than what you're seeing there
but in the last five
here's some two thousand five a twenty ten in that chart
it's already
getting to a point where you can see this clearly
different than it was in the past it is picking up momentum
and that's with a promise in fact
when he was funny numbers about the macro picture
isn't three hundred and thirty one months in a row
where global temperatures are above the twentieth century average
issue that's not a fluke sa one time weather event
for the fed is and obvious pattern
if you can see that's a pattern
there's something wrong with you
you you lack inability
two reasons
okay
could be said of a lot of climate
uh... change than ours
so now in twenty twelve along
here's what we've had
record arctic ice lost we've been telling about that all year
and by the way that also contributed to the severity
of uh... sending
and then to record u_s_ heat waves including the hottest months in the
history of the united states of america noses past july
we had a record route with an above average fire season anant unprecedented
brick you know what we just went through
so when any of them out
not enough i'll give you more information
uh... here it is university of arizona side is jonathan over pack he says quote
the extra heat increases the odds a worse heatwave sprouts
storms a wildfire
this is certainly what time any other time a scientist
have been warning about
in fact they have been warning about a for decades
we listen because of the climate change in our spending tremendous amount of
money
greenpeace the report
back in twenty ten
this was before we knew
uh... although we know now about *** districts well turns out they like
disease two guys a coat was there all those company called token mysteries
widened got agency that whatever pouring in decline of the night
well we have seen it
and that report alone they talked about just three years stretches two different
three years treasures
where they spent twenty five million dollars
uh... on
putting out reports eight climate change some scientists say there's some side to
say that
here we've got our on side is that i think tanks like the cato institute
which was a whole
website denying climate change
they voted twenty five million dollars to know why cogan histories
make somebody from whelan gaps
so their profit is dependent on us not believing and climate change
but that's not all
treated as a six and two thousand nine
coke industries the coke family etcetera
put in thirty seven and a half million dollars
lobbying politicians
so you got their fake science
you've got the money going to politicians get the money going to
lobbying
and that's one
armenia to say okay well we don't know what it maybe maybe not
invited me show you what is your cable company is doing just a second
let me give you more numbers about her kids
in the nineteen seventies we average speed hurricane per season per year
nineteen eighties nine
nineteen nineties eleven
two thousand spiffy nursing a pattern here
well about uh... the any of this decade
two thousand and ten ninety
twenty eleven eighty
twenty twelve nineteen
these are all named hurricanes by the way
in twenty twelve we still have one month left emergencies
if you can't see this pattern
you either blind or willfully ignorant
which category does the media falling you tell me because
then when we were having the record-breaking heat drought in the
summer
only eight point seven percent t_v_ news during that july heat wave mission climb
a tree
i don't see it out on here at idle speed it
in this is a fun one
paul ryan's workouts ramesh at three times more
than arctic sea otters loss
all what kind of work out this paul ryan
armenia is sick
it is disease
it has this huge problem where it does not give you the facts
and i will tell us one ninety percent drop in t_v_ news coverage
from two dozen nine to twenty eleven
climate change stories
belorus
that's the media throwing up their hands and say
what i had talked about it anymore
and partly to blame of course of the politicians' ranting and all that money
from climate denies
not just republicans who are obvious in in the tank
uh... the or lobby gives ninety percent of their money to republicans literally
that's a fact
now at the same time the school given off to the democrats of those any
democrats go along with this case
and president obama during the debates was arguing over
who is mister colin who controlled more
so the mediator as well as a lot of problems like early in the democrats
liked really
their problems like coleman democrats like colin powell a everybody agrees
fossil fuels are awesome
an immediate never thanks hey you know what maybe we should report reality
and not care what either forty cents
they always think about my job is just a report of the two sides are all both
corporates parties agreed
that we should keep drilling and not worry about climate change great then we
agree will stop talking about
anne you wonder how we got into this mess well that's exactly how we got into
it
and now that's exactly how we got super storms like sandy
and how we will get more and more of them
and we told you this earlier
a lot of people didn't believe it
well were living in it now
so what is going to get ahead us
sonya at a holler
it already hit us
